Tried catching you Vaughn before I left, but you was on the otherside of the strip matey.
Never mind Han saw a few break downs coming back to the south, but at least it wasn't pissing down. :smiley:

The Scene / Non-Scene Saxo (take your pick!) parked up in the show and shine area sounds like it caused a few raised eye brows! :laugh:

i've kinda been wanting one for years but its a lot of cash to spend on something which i'm not 100% sure i want. mind you it will always have a high re-sale value! i'd have to have a de-badged one with a grill spoiler though......

oh btw is that english font pressed plates i spy? turned into a law-fearing girly since you got tugged for the .de plates ?

Gibby, car looks fantastic mate.
Wasn't sure about the wheels but they look great now I've seen them on.
What times did you manage?

What times did you manage?
Thanks Nick, I was wondering if you'd approve. :cool: I'm loving the wheels but I'm sick of having to clean the brake dust off them every other day ! :laugh: As for 1/4 mile times, I had a very indifferent day, missed a couple of gear changes so that cost me dear on a couple of runs, but the ones that I did ok with were consistent, best was 15.77 but also did a 15.79 & 15.83. What would you have expected ? I was looking for a 15.5ish time so I wasn't far off. I don't think the freaky hot weather helped too much. :rolleyes:
Also, I don't think that the reaction times contribute for these runs and I'll explain why, I raced a VR6 and I set off first, had a reaction time of .47 to their 1.09, I crossed the finish line first and I got a time of 15.79 but they got 15.62. Also, on my last run, I got my best reaction time of .35, I had good gear changes and thought it was my best run, but it ended up being the run of 15.83.
As I got three runs of around the same time I'm thinking that unless it's slightly cooler then I'm not going to get much better than that although I still think there's a low 15 in there somewhere. :smiley:
-
Han was that your cab in the show & shine??? Was looking out for you all day but no joy.

Better practise those gear changes then! :rolleyes: :laugh:
-
Aye, I probably do. :laugh: It was strange, sometimes the changes were ok and others I just missed completely. Oh hum. :laugh:
-

yeah yeah, next to tams bolf, i was only in show and shine as i was following tam home with his sat nav! lol
-
As soon as I saw it I turned to Andy and said I thought it was your car. When I saw all the sweets in the centre console it confirmed my suspicions!!! Andy was hankering after one of your mints but I told him he really shouldn't reach in!!!
-
the boot had frozen drinks in it too in a cool bag, i had bsicuits, cereal bars, crisps, water, juice, capri-sun, a tool kit and legal number plates!
car was fully open, even the boot wasnt shut properly!±
-
You would be amazed at the difference a hot day makes to the power.
Having driven in hot and cold conditions you probably realised that anyway.
Times are pretty good, if you get the flowed charger reconditioned and polish up your gear changing you should see low 15's or on a good day high 14's!

some wicked pics here:

Nick, which is the flowed charger, I take it that's the spare charger you gave me ? Is that better than the new one that's on it at the moment then ?
Wowser, those pics are wicked, I remember the guy taking the pic of the back end when I was waiting on the strip, I even held the queue up for a few moments while he took the shot. :cool:
-
Also, what do you reckon the chances are that I missed second gear on this run. :rolleyes: :laugh: Hmmmm, wheels look nice and shiney though. :cool:

It's reverse that always gets me mate, end up punching the door card :grin:

Apparently looking at some of the threads on E38 some of the people setting off on the strip actually did that. :laugh:
-
and still to this day.. look over my left shoulder when reversing, and spend a few seconds wondering why i cant see a bloody thing behind me.
-
ha ha. I actually got into the wrong side to move my car on Sunday at GTI festival, much to the amusement of joe, Lewy, jv and everyone else around ! :embarassed: :laugh:
-
i've done that twice after filling up with petrol :/
tried to make out i was looking for something in the glovebox..
-
:grin: i can see myself doing that too if i ever got LHD!
-
Anyone check that blondie in the RED Vr6? Her number plate was blondie not sh*ttin you boys either!
she was cute I' mean pleasing to the eye! Aye!
Gib must have let her win LOL :laugh:
The funnest thing I raced was that Mk5 I think? and started chatting he was scared he swore I was going to do him, he even asked the best way to start the punch?
I asked how many ponies he said 230BHP agianst my 160BHP he was a second and half faster than I. Time wise it was 17.27 he got 16.0027. :cry:
Great times had there fellas, great times! :smiley:
Listen the best styled wrong car entry is to have your bird sit in the passenger side, so when you realise your in the wrong side you give her your smoke's or wallet NOT THAT IT EVER HAPPENED TO ME THAT IS! :wink:
Jay
-
han you'd do it in a RHD too knowing you.. :tongue:
-
i actually have LOL at sainsburys with mu mum, i got to get in passenger side!
-
Jay, you need that Rallye tinkering with ! :wink: I would have given you a run for your money in my old mk1 cab. :grin: Rallye's weigh far too much for 160bhp that's for sure.
-
Whats this about letting a blonde beat you gibby? :laugh:

My old clipper would have given your clip a run for its money I miss it big time summer car for sure mate!
I wanted to tinker with the Rallye but she is so stock and took alot of work to get it back to the way she should have been. I wanted a 2.ltr bore, wosnier pistons, lysholm charger to boot, but I might just settle for Lysholm to give it a boost.
I can always change her back! :smiley:

Come on Toph, you should know thats not me, his belly isn't big enough!!

Yep the charger in the box is the flowed one, whatever you do don't fit it without having it fully checked over first though.
It would probably need a good service anyway but it will give you more boost if it is ok.

Nice one Nick. I wouldn't put it on without a full service anyway. Is the charger on now a stage 4 ?
-
Apart from a smaller pulley and a wider timing belt it is standard.

Whereabouts on the A14 Dinx??? The plate on my mates VR6 is K** MAH, its a grey colour.
If it was him I'd have been somewhere in close proximity in my car and another mate in his mk3.
-
Is that the mate I folowed home from Skeggie? When I overtook 4 cars and a lorry keeping up wih him? :evil:
-
Not the car that Dinx was referring to but the other car I was with yes. We'll call it the deathwish manouvre shall we???
-
Errrrrrr, I've no problem with a lady beating me on the santa pod strip, at the end of the day she did a 15.62 and I didn't beat that time all day and knowing what you lot drive (she was in a VR6 by the way) I don't think there are many on here that would actually have beaten her, so up yours to be honest. :tongue:
-
Nah that was the one on the way to Skeggie, when I was following you! :laugh: When I decided late to overtake some people carrier after you, with that huge blue lorry coming towards me! :smug:
(Golf Stu's missus called me mad) :laugh:
I was just thing if it was the same Vr6 then that was blue with grey/silver graphics.

So you are quite happy for a Vr6 to thrash your Rallye?
Sounds like my 16v could beat it then! :smug:
-
I was just thing if it was the same Vr6 then that was blue with grey/silver graphics.
Yeah he was there aswell on the A14 last sun, thankfully the graphics have now gone. He only fitted them initially to cover up soem scratches but then removed them and had the rear resprayed.
-
So you are quite happy for a Vr6 to thrash your Rallye?
Sounds like my 16v could beat it then! :smug:
15.62 to 15.79 is hardly being "thrashed" is it ! :rolleyes:
A mk3 16v would struggle to break the 16sec barrier so you wouldn't beat my time and I reckon I've a low 15 in there somewhere. But don't take my word for it, why not give it a run and see for yourself, proof of the pudding and all that. You'll be there for Bugjam so prove me wrong then. :smug:
-
That sounds like a challenge! :grin:
I could beat you easily coz you cant get second gear! :smug:
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Mind you - you have a weight advantage! :laugh:
-
I doubt I'll race you at Bugjam as I'll be in my camper. :rolleyes: But yup, second gear in that can be quite tricky too, especially going down from third. :laugh: I don't have to race against you to see if you get the better time. My best was 15.77 so see if you can beat that in yours. :smug:
-
Hmmmmm now its not like me to not take up a challenge but in this case i think I will be sensible for a change!
By then i will have spent a fair bit of dosh on the boat and do I really want to thrash it down the strip and risk bouncing it off their barriers? nah i'll chicken out!
-
Excuses, excuses which basically means, you don't think you'd spank my time as first boasted ! :rolleyes: ......and if the blonde in the VR6 raced you she'd beat you too. :grin: I think you'd be hard pushed to beat my cab to be honest and I did that in a best of 17.2. :wink:
Chick, chick, chick, chick chicken, lay a little egg for me ! :grin: :
-
Yep all true! I would probably just sit there on the line coz all I could see would be £ signs, thinking of the money I had spent.
-
would rather kill my car on a track than have some blind old dear in a nissan almera write it off tbh.. paranoia never got anyone anywhere
-
Ah but with my superior driving skills and ABS brakes I will never kill a car on the road! :laugh:
-
yet on a completely straight 1/4 mile run you're worried you might smack into the concrete sidewalls.. even a mk3 can handle driving in a straight line
-
No i'd be more worried that I would break something on the car/drop oil or whatever causing a loss of control then smack it into the barrier!
-
'ere Gib.. yer right. Len has no balls :laugh:
-
In this case guilty as charged.
-
'ere Gib.. yer right. Len has no balls :laugh:
Hmmm, I know. :smug: The ones he does have keep getting into his eyes though. :laugh:
On one of my runs last week I even had to avoid a piece of exhaust on the track ! :shocked: Vaughn said to me "Something's fallen off your car" at which point I sh@t myself until I realised that I saw the offending item in front of me rather than in the mirror so it deffo wasn't mine. Phew ! :laugh:
Len you big scaredy cat ! You have "superior" driving skills and ABS but you're not able to keep it straight for 1/4 of a mile ! :laugh: :laugh:

I'm a scardy cat as well as havin no balls then!
See with my luck I would have nicked that piece of exhaust and either burst a tyre or it would have cut my fuel line or some other disaster!
-
but surely with said superior driving skills you would be able to control the car in such a predicament :grin:
sorry i am just jumping on the bandwagon len

Ah but thats on the road. :smug:
The track is an unknown to me so cant be so sure of myself. :undecided:

Something very similar went through my head as I went over it, I was waiting for a big clunk or something more disastrous !

Gibby one thing on my last run you made me go on your side of the track mmmmmmmmm! :rolleyes:
Luckly they made us wait for half an hour to clear the track LOL! :wink:
-
Ooops, sorry Jay. :laugh: There was nothing sinister involved as I was just wondering if I'd have better luck with my gear changes on the other side. :laugh:

This is an illustration of my luck.
Went back to car in garage after a short shopping trip and pool of water!
Bad coolant leak.
Turns out said leak is in a plastic section of pipe right under the inlet manifold, which necessatates removing the complete manifold to get off!
Couldnt be in a hose that easy to get off, oh no!
With dodgy hex head bolts that needed "work" to get them off, it took two and a half hours!

Your alright fella I know, I wanted to go down ther otherside thinking it flew off my lane and on yours LOL! :evil:
Well I was down on power in third and now I know why The ISV was blocked so lost boost release and bad mixture. There was also a pipe lose on the induction side losing boost. She flies now! :smiley:
